Britain. So for two years Sewer and
Robertson held their hands, while
death lurked beside every mans
dwelling. The farmer could not fell

In a population of 7,040 in the Nash

to 70 yearly. AT last, when some of
the first men In the district had fallen,
the Nashville people rose, enrolled
themselves, and demanded to be led
against the Chickamaugas. Then
Robertson gave way, and sending for
young Brown, asked him to find a
route for an army through the woods
TO Nicojack.
1t was more than q hundred miles,
through a tracIlcss forest where never

with two or three companions the
young man went and returned in

The head chief of the Chickamaugas
was killed, and seventy of his war

ashes. But more than this-the In

haunts had been discovered, and hence
that further conflict with the whites
would result in their own cXtermina-

In the fight young Brown was in
trusted with the command of com

the Indians 10 the cave OF Nicoiack.
When il was over he returned to the
town, and asked il any prisoners had

murdered kindred. The woman was
the only one TO speak. She pleaded

the wretched) she cried.
Brown at the age of sc wrote out
the narrative from which the iorego-
ing is taken. He had then, as in his
youth, the feeling that he was Gods
avenger-"The judgment of Heaven

Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette
BERKELEY SPRINGS. ". Va, July %
a gay party assembled ct Hotel ST. Elmo
last night to participate in tie donkey
game. The donkey of this occasion had q
missing member Of mis- body, which, how
ever, was not one Of his ears, and the guests
severally tried what they could do toward
supplying that which nature, or, perhaps,
more lity said, AFT, had left OIL As nature
is accredited with bastowng her gifts blind
ly. so each person was required to 20 blind
folded and place on the dOnSey's back the
aforesaid missing member TO awaken cur
best energies there were four prizes offered
three for those who came nearest tne right
spot, and one for the BOBBY. After the
most of the company had made donkeys OF
themselves by running from pest to pillar
instead OF walking up like men and doing
the right thing, we came to the last stage Of
the game, and The prizea were delivered to
the yictogs in n neat little speech by the
Hon. Lewis Mckenzie. OF course the affair
ended with dance and everybody seemed
perfectly happy.
We are so near the mountains here that

from This hotel, but right at the baths, is by
far one of the prettiest I have seen, many
of the houses being the summer homes OF
persons from Washington and elsewhere.
One, conspicuous for its beauty, was built
by former Indian commissioner, Mr.. Dale,
who tells me he has been spending the sum

stalwart appearance indicates that it is

especially the baths, are doubtless great
